Celestial Bodies by Jokha Alharthi

4.0

Elegant, despairing, lacerating, poetic. I appreciated the family tree at the beginning of the book and the use of fonts to differentiate characters as they spoke. The men's voices are in first person and the women's voices are in very close third person; the men are pitiful, unkind, and cruel while the women are solemn, hopeful, expansive. What an incredible book.
